SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This vacuum cleaner is intended for household use only.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this vacuum cleaner
has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This
plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet,
reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the
proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
13 Never operate this vacuum cleaner without the dirt compartment and filters in place.
Empty the dirt compartment before reaching the “Max Fill Line” and clean the filters
often.
Before removing the plug from the outlet, turn all controls to the “OFF” position.
Use extra caution when cleaning on stairs.
Never handle plug, cord or vacuum cleaner with wet hands.
Never touch the underside of the vacuum cleaner when it is plugged in. The rotating
agitator may cause injury.
Do not use in presence of flammable or combustible liquids or fumes.
Do not place heavy objects on the vacuum cleaner.
Do not step on the hose or pull the hose forcibly.
Do not pick up objects such as waste paper, plastic sheets, tissue paper or
wrappings which may clog the hose and filters. Do not pick up a large amount of
dust at once. This may clog the filters and rapidly reduce the performance of the
vacuum cleaner.
Do not expose this vacuum cleaner to high temperatures while operating or during
storage.
Store this vacuum cleaner in a dry place.
Use the carrying handle on the back of the body to carry this vacuum cleaner.
Before servicing this vacuum cleaner, allow all parts to cool.

This vacuum contains a motor protection system to max-
imize the motor life. It is designed to shut off to avoid
overheating in case of a blockage or clogged filter. If the protection device is
activated, the vacuum stops without turning off the switch. If this happens, turn off
the vacuum and unplug the cleaner.
Please empty the dirt compartment, clean the net filter with water and check the main
filter. After approximately 30 minutes the motor will have cooled and the vacuum will
be ready to use. Operating this vacuum with clogged or dirty filters may cause the
vacuum to overheat. Please clean the filters regularly.
